The earliest Jewish settlers in
Corsicana arrived in 1871, the year rail lines were built to the area.
In 1898 a group of reformed Jews established Temple Beth-El. Two years
later they built this house of worship, which features two distinctive
octagonal towers with onion-shaped domes. Corsicana's Jewish residents
have made many significant contributions to the city's growth and
development, and the temple now serves as a reminder of their rich
heritage.
